Sandhi Santa Rita Hills Chardonnay 2020 (750ML)

91-93 Points, Erin Brooks, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2020 Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills, still in tank, comes from about 70% estate and 30% purchased fruit. It's savory at this stage, with tones of golden apples, beeswax, brioche and roasted almonds. The medium-bodied palate offers youthful, tangy acidity and slowly emerging nutty layers, finishing energetic." 03/22

92 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The 2020 Chardonnay (Sta. Rita Hills) is stellar. The aromatics alone are compelling. White orchard fruit, mint, white pepper and mint add a striking upper register. All the elements come together effortlessly. There's real personality and class here. Then again, that's not entirely surprising given that 70-80% of this fruit emerges form Sandhi-designated blocks at Domaine de la Cote." 08/22

92 Points, MaryAnn Worobiec, Wine Spectator: "Lip-smacking fresh ginger, pomelo and apple flavors are focused, sleek and intense, with a note of sea salt and celery leaf on the finish. Drink now through 2026. 2,000 cases made." 07/22
